- I absolutely love LockNLube grease gun couplers. They're awesome. Today, I just got a new locking air coupler from Lock N Lube, called the Lock N Flate. Let's this thing up to the air compressor and see if it will solve all of my tire inflation problems.
Want to get one of these things? Here's a link on Amazon:

I get a little cash if you use that link to buy the LockNFlate, so that's Full Disclosure, right?
Here's the Stuff from LockNLube:
Like no other air chuck on the market, the LockNFlate's six steel jaws lock on to any Schrader valve to create a secure, hands-free connection. The heavy-duty construction is built to last and stand up to everyday use in even the busiest tire shops, service bays, and garages.
Features:
Durable, spring-loaded TPU seal
Fits all standard Schrader valves [VG8/8V1 valve threads]
Rated to 150 PSI
1/4” NPT Thread Size-compatible with most standard air hoses
Heavy-duty construction for strength and durability resists corrosion
Suitable for garage and industrial airline systems, auto and manual tire inflators, portable pressure gauges, constant pressure systems
Available in 2 styles: Open Flow or Closed Flow
CLOSED FLOW: For use directly from a compressor or airline. Must engage valve to open the seal. Works with all systems except for computerized commercial-grade systems.
OPEN FLOW: Allows air to flow through freely without engaging the valve stem. For use with systems that have hand/foot-controlled valves such as in-line gauges with a trigger, or automatic tire inflators. - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
Every DIYer needs both lock-n -lube and Lock-n-inflate, both are great products that work well and save time.
Excellent video. Thanks.
Thanx for the lift test! I was wondering that same exact thing!! 😊
I shoulda swung the tire around a bit
Nice presentation of how to use the lockninflate tool. Thx
Great review
Looks handy!
It's nearly perfect. I'll never need to buy another tool again. That second statement was a lie, but it's a really great tool
Thanks for sharing
I love this thing
Watch out for that spider, man! (7:15 in). Awright. Behind your video, I am now convinced. I'm gonna order one of those air chucks right now. Thank you.
My lever action was a little stiff(of coarse I had one of the first produced), so I just simply sprayed a touch of "fluid film" into the jaws on the end and worked the lever back and forth a dozen times, hit it again with a touch of fluid film and then hooked air to it, blew it out and wiped it off and I havent had a problem since. Very very smooth operating now.
I've never tried fluid film. Gotta find some at the hardware store, I guess!

I found out about fluid film from Cody at "Wranglerstar" channel, it is a lube+ penetrant and it leaves behind a film to protect. It is really good stuff.
I'm thinking about picking one of these up. As a farmer I'm airing up large tires that sometimes take 5 mins or more. We have an older brand of a locking chuck but it doesn't hold on to the stem that well anymore.
Worth every penny. I give it three thumbs up!
I signed up to get one while they were still taking orders for the first production process, I think I waited about 6 months to get mine, but let me tell ya it was so worth the wait and the $49.99+shipping,,, It is priceless in my book!
Great video. I wonder if it would be better to have a 90 elbow below the locknflate. Either way I’m getting one!
I do think that would help for sure! I'll definitely try it out
Thinking the same thing, as no worries about getting them done deep odd ones!
Now that it's been awhile how is it holding up? Would you still recommend it? Thank you for the video.
Absolutely. I don't use it every day, but it gets used about once a week. The jaws grip great and air flow is superb.
Can you post the link
Hit your hardware store and throw a 90 degree air fitting between the hose and the locknflate and it'll squeeze into 90% of those hard to get to valve stems
Great idea! I'll do it this weekend
@@HomesteadBandwagon how'd she work out for ya?
This is great! Do you have any details on the inflator with the built-in pressure gauge? I want to buy this for my disabled brother. He has an old setup and it would be nice if the Lock N Flate had an in-line pressure gauge. Did you just attach the air chuck to an existing inflator with a gauge or did you custom-build the entire setup?
I picked up the inflator with guage from Harbor Freight. Decent little unit! www.harborfreight.com/dual-head-air-chuck-inflator-with-dial-gauge-63544.html
Lock N Lube sells the inflators with a gauge now as well
@@bobbymorgret Amazing! Thank you.
Will this work on aircraft tires?
That's a great question. I have no idea if it would or not. The system uses the threads on the valve stem to lock on, so if the stem has threads, i would assume it would work
I just bought one and put it on my Matco tire inflator. Im super disappointed in mine. It won't seal on ANYTHING! Not on my bobcat, truck, or trailer valve stems. It does lock on good but leaks air. Bummer that $60 is going in the trash.
The lock and lube line is A++ and love um.
Did you reach out to Lock N Lube? I'd be shocked if they didn't send you a new one! Sounds like you just got a faulty unit. They are a pretty good company when it comes to stuff like that.
@@HomesteadBandwagon I'm going to tomorrow and see what happens.
Let me know how it goes!
@@HomesteadBandwagon emailed them yesterday and today they said they are shipping me another one.
They said once I get the new one there is a pre paid lable so I have to ship the "defective" one back so they can check it out.
I'll message back once I get the new one and if it works any better.
Oh cool! I was kinda surprised that they don't make a rebuild kit for these like they do with the grease coupler
I have the locknlube grease version and it’s great but this is too bulky. The JACO lightning is the best design for air chucks.
I'll check it out!
